I was amazed at how quickly teenage boys wee able to open up after viewing the video clips.Coordinator of Juvenile Detention Center

This was a great movie with a lot packed into it. We really appreciate the youth version. . .[Youth] really resonated with the stuff about video games as well as toys and the girls are just as engaged as the boys thank you for making such a great movie.Middle School Teacher

Our players were looking for something in their personal lives to help them navigate the tough waters of being a college student. With programs like watching and discussing The Mask We Live In, we have been able to open up dialogue on the subject of what is the best practice for treating people, especially women the right way.Isaac Collins, Head Football Coach – Seton Hill University (Greensburg, PA)
